“…As ingesting is the main pathway of entering the human body, the quality of edible parts of crop plants is of the greatest concern. Due to PM capture and high immobilization of metal and metalloids, leafy vegetables are the least secure for cultivation in urban areas [ 139 , 140 ] (Table 1 ). Previous experiments give evidence that lettuce Lactuca sativa L. collects alleviated amounts of Al, As, Mn, Pb and Cu, Spinacia oleracea L.—As, Cd, Zn and Fe [ 124 , 127 ], Brassica oleracea L.—Zn and Sb [ 132 ], while Chrysanthemum coronarium L.—Cr [ 141 ].…”

Air pollution is regarded as an increasingly threatening, major environmental risk for human health. Seven million deaths are attributed to air pollution each year, 91% of which is due to particulate matter. Vegetation is a xenobiotic means of removing particulate matter. This review presents the mechanisms of PM capture by plants and factors that influence PM reduction in the atmosphere. Vegetation is ubiquitously approved as a PM removal solution in cities, taking various forms of green infrastructure. This review also refers to the effectiveness of plant exploitation in GI: trees, grasslands, green roofs, living walls, water reservoirs, and urban farming. Finally, methods of increasing the PM removal by plants, such as species selection, biodiversity increase, PAH-degrading phyllospheric endophytes, transgenic plants and microorganisms, are presented.

“…These rocks included radioactive elements have high concentrations of Pb than sedimentary rock. In same time, sedimentary rocks also include Pb contents ranging from 10 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg (Lovering, 1969;Cheema et al 2020). Additionaly, the main origin of Pb pollution in sediments is the metal coating, leather whipping, burning coal and fossil fuels, waste pyromania and paint factories (Kushwaha et al, 2018;Ullah et al, 2017;Yousaf et al, 2017;Cheema et al, 2020 (Lermi and Sunkari, 2020) showed that no Pb pollution of the samples and that present Pb originated from aerosol, gasoline and geogenic sources (Fig.…”

Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks are widely exposed around Trabzon, Giresun and Gümüşhane in the eastern Pontides. The sedimentary rocks are mainly composed of sandstones and marls, and the thicknesses of these rocks range from 170 m to 400 m. This paper focused on Late Cretaceous sandstones of Trabzon, Giresun and Gümüşhane regions to identify the concentrations, sources, deposition environment and conditions of certain heavy metal(loid)s (Zn, Pb, Cu, Ni, As, Co, Mo and V). Enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumulation index (Igeo), Pollution index (Pi), Pollution load index (Pln), Pb isotope and multivariate statistical analysis were performed to elucidate the pollution levels and sources. The mean concentrations of Zn, Pb, Cu, Ni, As, Co, Mo and V were 16.5, 10.8, 9.4, 13.2, 2.1, 4.4, 0.2 and 21 mg/kg, respectively in the Trabzon area, 35, 5.8,18.8, 102, 3.2, 18.6, 0.5 and 109 mg/kg, respectively in the Giresun area, and 36, 8.9, 14.7, 82, 3.9, 16.9, 0.3 and 106 mg/kg, respectively in the Gümüşhane area. In general, the evaluation indices exhibited that the sandstones were moderately polluted by As in the Trabzon area, and strongly polluted by Ni and As, moderately polluted by Co and V in the Giresun and Gümüşhane areas. The results of multivariate statistical analyses indicated that As and partly Pb might be originated from anthropogenic sources, whereas other metals were derived from geogenic origin. Lead isotopic analysis demonstrated two characterized signatures of the pollution sources in the sandstones, one related to geogenic origin and the other to coal, gasoline and pesticides. The sandstones were deposited in transition – marine environment under oxic – weak oxic conditions and paleoclimatic conditions ranged from arid to moist during Late Cretaceous period.

“…Metals-induced pollution is a primary environmental concern. It is becoming more problematic in the present era where industrialization and interruption to natural biogeochemical cycles are increasing [1,2]. In the current scenario, the major ecological threat is from high concentrations of metals formed as a by-product from various human activities, mainly discharged from the industries, and have reached toxic water and soil levels [3].…”

Metal Accumulation Profile of Catharanthus roseus (L.) G.Don and Celosia argentea L. with EDTA Co-Application

The problem of metal-induced toxicity is proliferating with an increase in industrialization and urbanization. The buildup of metals results in severe environmental deterioration and harmful impacts on plant growth. In this study, we investigated the potential of two ornamental plants, Catharanthus roseus (L.) G.Don and Celosia argentea L., to tolerate and accumulate Ni, Cr, Cd, Pb, and Cu. These ornamental plants were grown in Hoagland’s nutrient solution containing metal loads (50 µM and 100 µM) alone and in combination with a synthetic chelator, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (2.5 mM). Plant growth and metal tolerance varied in both plant species for Ni, Cr, Cd, Pb, and Cu. C. roseus growth was better in treatments without EDTA, particularly in Ni, Cr, and Pb treatments, and Pb content increased in all parts of the plant. In contrast, Cd content decreased with EDTA addition. In C. argentea, the addition of EDTA resulted in improved plant biomass at both doses of Cu. In contrast, plant biomass reduced significantly in the case of Ni. In C. argentea, without EDTA, root length in Cd and Cu treatments was significantly lower than the control and other treatments. However, the addition of EDTA resulted in improved growth at both doses for Pb and Cu. Metal accumulation in C. argentea enhanced significantly with EDTA addition at both doses of Cu and Cd. Hence, it can be concluded that EDTA addition resulted in improved growth and better metal uptake than treatments without EDTA. Metal accumulation increased with EDTA addition compared to treatments without EDTA, particularly for Pb in C. roseus and Cu and Cd in C. argentea. Based on the present results, C. roseus showed a better ability to phytostabilize Cu, Cd, and Ni, while C. argentea worked better for Ni, Cd, Cu, and Pb.
